Transformers 2?

transformersBoth Toon Zone and ICv2 have written of a supposed Entertainment Tonight report that there will be a sequel to the recently-released Transformers movie (which has already been a line of toys, several animated TV series, a comic book and a feature-length animated film).

However, my scan of the ET site has not brought up anything of the sort, and while a couple articles from other sites do allude to the possibility of a sequel, I see nothing that could be construed as an official announcement.

TiVo will let you record two shows at once

tivoSure, having a TiVo is nice, but what happens when you want to record two shows that are on at the same time? Starting the first of May, new Tivo boxes will be available that will allow viewers to record two shows simultaneously. Currently the boxes, like VCRs, only allow a person to record one show at a time. This is a very cool move on TiVo's part, I think, and it's one the company needed to make as it tries to set itself apart from other DVR manufacturers. The new boxes will hold up to 80 hours worth of programming, and will cost $99.99 (but that's after the activation fee and rebate).  

New Sesame Street DVDs under fire

elmoThe television set has been at the center of a debate over child rearing since it was first introduced into our homes. One question that comes up often is how young is too young when it comes to plopping your kid in front of the tube. The American Academy of Pediatrics has said for years that any child under the age of two shouldn't be allowed to watch TV, but Sesame Street is challenging that notion with a new DVD series aimed at the "under two" set called Sesame Beginnings, and some child advocates are not thrilled about it, claiming that exposure to media at such an early age can harm a child's development. In defense of Sesame Street and Sesame Workshop, the company has never ventured into anything haphazardly, and a lot of thought and research went into these DVDs. Still, my feelings are that even if the DVDs are "safe" a child's time would be better spent anywhere except in front of the television. They don't need to be stimulated by bright colors and Muppets; the world is already fascinating enough to them.
